APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday January 21, 2009 (MJD 54853) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Dan Oravetz Steph Snedden (afternoon) Alaina Shelden (training) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 21 Jan 2009 54853.0 0.25 BOSS/SEGUE 10.8 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cart 7 (3186), 9 (3208), 8 (3216) and 3 (3225) declared done Cart 5 (3226) aborted due to saturation in b1 and r1 cameras (seen in spectra). We found some green lights and covered them with tape, but the plate expired before we could test it. Could not declare this plate done. Added signal to 4 (3170) and 6 (3198) ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- On the first slew of the afternoon, moving up from 30 deg alt, the alt fiducial crossing error was about 2000 (too large to correct). The first crossing was immediately followed by the brake coming on and the slew being halted due to a slip. The slip was cleared, and the subsequent slew was fine. Telescope balance was fine. There were no other problems noted during checkout Spectro focus was left unchanged and should be good for about 2C or so.
